2009 Discussion-We'll make time fly by!

It does get expensive, doesn't it? I'm going to miss seeing you here :flower3: . I hope you can check in every so often. Take Care!!!
 
We are down for Oct '09 and are planning on the last week. That means we have less than 20 months to go!:yay:
 
Hello 2009'ers.

I'm afraid we have decided not to go in January 2009. The reality of our 2008 vacation costing far more than in the past (we had always stayed with family in the past/now we are renting a house on the beach + renting a car + higher flight prices + a possible side trip), the highly likely need to purchase a new vehicle this year and now, not only does one DS need braces this year -- but now 2 do -- all points in the direction of no 2009 WDW trip. :sad1:

Making the decision to cancel my tentative thoughts and plans now will in the long run be easier than holding out the hope, just to have to cancel months down the road. I will hope toward the early part of 2010 -- which seems lightyears away! :eek:

So, goodbye. It's been fun, but I need to accept reality. I'll still be on here every now and then as I am still working on scrapbooks for our 2004 and 2007 trips and visit the Scrapping board here on the Dis for ideas and resources.

Arkansas Mom .... please remove us from your list. Thanks.

Have fun planning! :goodvibes

Sorry to hear that you won't be able to go on your trip. I hope you're able to go in 2010! :)

I hope you are able to go in 2010. It is hard, but you have to balance priorities.....:angel: Good luck to you.
 

sorry to read about those who can no longer go in 2009.
I haven't been on Dis or the weight loss site for a while. It has been extremely crazy here, I just realized that I have been missing a lot of planning. I have updated my ticker and as of today have decided that we are going march 5- 18!!!!

I posted very early in this thread about our 2009 trip - now I feel like it is really going to happen and that it is okay to talk about it :goodvibes

I am trying to catch up with this thread - you all are such a warm bunch!

Hope you don't mind if I join you...

Hi, everyone!
I have been really missing the disboards. School and work have taken over my life. This particulary block of classes ends soon and I cannot wait!! This has been a hard one. I am ready for the next one. Anywho...I am still looking forward to June 09!:banana:
 
The more the merry garada 3. I really like your ticker, I've never seen those before. Anyway, not ready to put a ticker in my signature yet, I still have 17 months or so before we go again.

I haven't really done any planning yet, although I did get the free Disney planning dvd in the mail last week. I don't like it, too much narration. I really like the old one with the girl Erin and all the others.
 
My 2009 plans are ever changing it seems. Now we are looking into 2 nights at POP and renting points from a DVC member for 5 nights at AKV, BCV, or BWV. Also looking at the 1st week in May rather than April. Anyone have any experience in May crowds wise?? :surfweb: MORE RESEARCH AND PLANNING HERE I COME!!
 
I just cancelled my trip for 2008, so I definately plan on going in 2009. Not sure when, or where I will stay at. It depends on how many bills I can pay off before then. My trips have almost all been in October, but I am thinking I might try and change it up a bit. My dream trip would be a stay at the Poly over the 4th of July. I'd love to see the fireworks, and I would love to be able to see them from the Poly beach. But you know, the Swan and Dolphin are looking pretty promising too~
 
Hello :wave:

I had been planning on a Disney trip for '08 but recently accepted the reality that is just can't happen this year. Since pulling the kids out of school isn't an option for us, we're debating between Easter, Christmas, or summertime of '09. That seems so far away. I saw this thread and knew I'd find kindred spirits here.

I look forward to posting along with you all. :disrocks:
 
Just returned from POR on 2/26 and already have started planning our next trip for April, 2009. It will be to celebrate my mom's 60th Birthday!!!

When will regular room reservations open up? Then I'll worry about codes later. When will April codes be out?
 
Hi everyone. :) I was so excited, because we were planning our first ever trip to WDW over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Well, that doesn't work :( so we are replanning for 2009. <sigh>

I am in the same boat as you! The kids are too old now to take them out of school, so we have decided that we will be going over spring break in March 2009. I am afraid that Christmas time will be just too crazy for us. Hopefully spring break will be better?

The good part of this is that it gives me some more time :hourglass to save $$$ for the trip and learn more tips from all of you experts.

We'll be going the first week of May!! (1-8th). In 2007 we went overlapping April/May (April 28-May 4). The crowds were fine. I definitely wouldn't say it was empty, but not super crowded. Definitely the waits increased during the middle part of the day. Mornings were great! Weather was great, mid 80's every day, not a drop of rain (they really needed it then, though, that's when the fires were going on). We knew we wanted to return at the same time. There's not really an overlapping week in 2009, so I debated between the last week of April/first week of May. Decided to go with May b/c Easter is so late. Thought the crowds might be less and also didn't want DS to miss 2 weeks so close together- his Spring Break is the week after Easter.

I haven't been around here much. We were busy with DD's birthday (3/1), had 40 people to the house Saturday night, so my weekend was gone basically, LOL. Anyone heard any new 2009 news? I'm dying for some good info!!!
 
Count us in for 2009! Yahooooo!! :cool1: I know it's been asked before (many times) but, how far ahead can you make reservations? I just tried booking for April '09 and for some reason it's not letting me?

Wow! I've missed a lot since I've been absent! I'll go get caught up right now!
 
Hi everybody:guilty:
My Hubby and I had a conversation last night and decided to postpone our 2009 trip.We couldn't really justify going back since we have been this past August. We are plannign to use the money by refurnishing our house and getting AC in the house. Plus belive it or not my girls really didn't want to go,they were actually quite pleased they told us they would go if I wanted to:rotfl: I guess I'm the only Disney nut :banana: in this house. We will surely make plans for 20010 or 2011 when the Harry Potter attraction will be up and running at Universal and by that time who knows maybe we could offered to upgrade and go in a moderate resort.... For those of you who are going have a magical time:wizard:
 
This should be current and somewhat accurate. If I'm wrong about your name/dates/resort or if you want to change something or if you just want to say hi, either post or PM me!
